MHD Thermally Radiating Flow through Two Parallel Vertical Plates Channel in the Presence of Chemical Reaction, Hall, Joule, and Cross- Diffusion Effects
Authors: ,
Abstract: MHD thermally radiating flow through two parallel vertical plate channels in the presence of chemical reaction, Hall, Joule, and cross-diffusion effects are examined. The fluid is assumed chemically reactive, electrically conducting, magnetically susceptible, viscous, incompressible, and Newtonian; the plates are porous, electrically conductive, and heated to a high-temperature regime to generate thermal rays. The flow system is highly interactive such that cross/double diffusion effects are present. The governing partial differential equations are solved by the method of Modified Homotopy Perturbation. Expressions for the concentration, temperature, velocity, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and Wall shear stress are obtained, computed, and presented graphically and tabularly. The analysis of results shows, amongst others, that an increase in the Hall Effects increases the main velocity and wall shear stress on both plates and causes fluctuations in the cross-velocity profiles.
